Dayton James Webber is facing murder charges after allegedly killing an acquaintance who was sitting in the front seat of his car.
Dayton is a 27-year-old professional cornhole player who is also a quadruple amputee, which means he has no arms or legs. He lost his legs and the lower halves of his arms after facing a bacterial infection as a baby.
The Charles County Sheriff’s Office says that an incident took place in Sunday night (March 22) in La Plata, Maryland.

“A preliminary investigation revealed the witnesses were in the back seat of a car when the driver, Dayton James Webber, 27, of La Plata, shot and killed the front seat passenger during an argument. Webber pulled over in the area of Radio Station Road and Llano Drive and asked the passengers to help pull the victim out of the car; however, the witnesses refused, got out of the car, and left the scene. Webber then fled with the victim still in the car. All occupants of the car are known to each other,” the statement read.
The victim was found hours later after a resident called 9-1-1 to report a body in a yard. The victim was pronounced deceased at the scene.
Dayton was found more than 100 miles away.
“Detectives from the Charles County Sheriff’s Office obtained a warrant for Webber’s arrest, and located Webber’s car in Charlottesville, Virginia. Webber was found at a nearby hospital seeking treatment for a medical issue. Upon being released from the hospital, Webber was arrested by officers with the Albemarle County Police Department and was charged as a fugitive from justice. He is awaiting extradition to Charles County where he will be charged with first-degree murder, second-degree murder, and other related charges,” the statement read.
